what's up guys, i had a new idea for putting a humbucker on my acoustic.

the idea is to glue two tiny wood blocks inside the guitar and screw the pickup on them.

what do you think?

Fuck off sam. Reported for ban evasion

Okay but where's the pickup signal going to go?

i'm new here, who's sam?

that's easy, i'm gonna wire it straight to the original 1/4 jack. the piezo preamp will be left with the xlr.

Is black winter good?

why am I like this?

am currently working on designing a distortion type pedal, are there any features that you guys recommend?

at least you still enjoy playing, don't complain

help me build a 5e3

thats totally normal, just sell them when you are finished. especially when there are oddball mods on them, thy might fetch a pretty penny

i think the idea that les pauls look dated is getting to me but my les paul copy is too much modified at this point for me to sell it

just buy the parts on the schematic. all 1W resistors unless otherwise stated, and follow one of many yootub tutorials

i mean, building tube amps isn´t hard, it just takes time.
modding and/or designing them is another story tho

can you post a clip, and the schematic? i may build that before i try building a fender.

i stand corrected, the 5f1 is simpeler, only 3 tubes, no tone control, only volume.

hey, this is a blue board, no porn images here

Some aids ridden retarded microcephalic peasant freak.

yeah, i would like one that is super simple and small so i can crank it on my bedroom. i cant do that with my boutique 10w amp.

it is. 100% handmade

i can post the schematic, but its basically the 5f1 but with silicon diodes instead of a rectifier tube and some simple value changes.
never recorded with it, the mains transformer got to hot one day and set the wooden chassis on fire. lol, i stopped the flames with one of those fire blankets.
the remains are still in my storage locker.
protip: use a ´´good´´ transformer made for power handling to build amps, not shitty ones made for low power applications.

should i be safe if i use a proper transformer

pls post it then, thanks in advance

your pic related has quite a complicated schematic desu. its all solid state and is just not on par with oldschool tweed amps

>complicated schematic
It's really not

why did you do this

fixed a 5c1. It's barey a guitar amp. More of a phono amplifier, but in a tiny awesome tweed 6" speaker box. A true practice amp with almost zero distortion unboosted.

The 5f1s sound great online.

Not super impressed with the 5e3 schematic.

because i have the schematic on paper and not on computer, so i changed the fender schematic into the one i used.

16/17.
After that, it's unlikely. 20 is the absolute maximum. Impossible after that.

can you write the components down, i cant read this shit
maybe even rewrite the scheme in a dummy manner

parts are actually kinda cheap, especially when building just an amp, without the cab. i originally built my first tube amp on a plank with copper nails as attachment points for the components. i think i payed about 64,50 for all the parts, but i salvaged the transformers from older appliances (dont do this please)

go on /diy/ on the /ohm/ thread and ask for help there, otherwise, you can ask for help on one of the forums for help

I been stacking pedals.

Attached: 20190417_185313.jpg (4032x2268, 3.76M)

What else you got going on?

dude, maybe consider learning a thing or two about electronics before building an amp, especially tube amps
you could search instructables for a tutorial on a simple solid state amp (ruby guitar amp) to start of with, or even a simple fuzz (bazz fuss). just start simple and build you way in to complexity

I think you underestimate how poor and dumb sam actually is. Yeah one thing you dont cheap out on are transformers

not doing anything tomorrow been wanting to get rid of my 98' epi les paul just dont know if it'd be a wise decision

yeah driving is fun, i wish i could just drive for 3 hours tomorrow

>tfw overwhelmed by the snakeoil pedal world so I plug straight into the amp

you're not losing anything good my friend

I like running the phaser in stereo mode with a delay behind it into one amp with phaser, chorus and reverb on another.

But yea, nothing beats plugging straight into my Blackstar.

>Why is it that a m7 chord adds a minor seventh but a m6 chord adds a major 6th

major minor don't apply to notes it's just the major scale not chords

What a fucking disgusting tone. Line 6 insane channel sounds better

LMAO, im using a line 6 practice amp that's literally on the insane channel. im dead serious. good catch

in reality my mic is garbage

The second mode of a major scale (dorian) actually has a natural sixth interval in its scale, but a lot of the time the major 6th of a minor chord is just added for flavor, without much harmonic consideration (i.e. even if it's not in the key). It's written as a "minor 6th" chord. There's not actually a name for a minor chord with a minor 6th, it's just an inversion of a major 7th chord though.

Hella compressed to hell and back with no real character perfectly defines the insane channel thats why it came to mind

Lets see that beer belly

Used to drive myself. Any reason you stick with it? It used to be better but with all the new regulations and stuff I dropped it for other work.

The best reverb behringer ever made is out of production and now sells for $100+

Ice cold tone with absolute no warmth, fullness, roundness, or any other adjectives that might be associated with good music. Don't forget it also needs to sound like an old broken tape recorder.

Call it Satan's Pussy and sell it for $666.

There are no essential pedals. That's like saying "where can i get the essential guitar".

Just never spend more than $60 on one, ever. If you can only get a specific pedal for more than $60 start looking for schematics and parts lists. For example, you can copy the klon 1:1 for less than $50, old russian diodes included.

Is there a website or app where you can input 3 or more notes on a "fretboard", and it will show you chords built around that pattern?

Attached: guitar-fretboard-grid-blank-616.png (616x178, 2K)

I got in at the end of 2015, 24 now, so I only really know the industry in its current state. But I like driving, having no coworkers and the pay is OK, I'm planning on working for a couple more years then switch to something else. Don't know what I want to do.

Just get a multi-effects unit, and try not to let the bitter assholes of /gg/ offload their own self-loathing and frustration on to you.

A lot of the more affordable ones sound pretty bad. Digital effects in general are what you pay for.

Kind of like solid state amps. You can, in theory, BTFO tubefags with amazing tone everyone will love. But it definitely won't be cheaper.

It sounds like this guy is just starting out and wants to play with effects, not record and perform. I think a cheaper unit would serve the purpose and give him an idea of what he wants to further invest in.

It sounds more like he just wants a bunch of pedals to step on

I've never heard a multi-fx unit that didn't sound like complete dogshit tho. Most guitarists who have them throw all their money at a nice guitar then have nothing left over for decent analog effects.

Digitech RP80

Thank me later.

>This makes the true student of the instrument recoil in disgust. How truly offensive.

The whole point of electric guitar, besides being better suited to amplification, is throwing all muh woody overtones to the wind and fucking with the timbre to take the venerable chordophone to new heights while laughing at the inferior dynamics of keyboard synth players.

>Google reverse image search
>"grumpy cat black metal"
Scands are fucking mental.

It doesn't matter what guitar you use for those genres. The first two are drowned in effects and the third is deliberately lo-fi and utilitarian.

I bought new nylon strings (flamenco strings) and the high e-string just won't tune. It's like high e note is way out of reach and the string will snap if I go any higher than C.

A friend told me that it usually takes a few days for the strings to "settle" but might there be anything else I'm doing wrong? All the other strings are fine.

I followed this video as a guide: youtube.com/watch?v=Yx1IG93sEs4

Sure you're not tuning it an octave too high?

youtube.com/watch?v=-VBdAY8eA9w

I remember when this premiered on Norwegian afternoon TV right in the middle of the church burnings with Abbath interviewed.

All strings need to be stretched for properly settle. Nylons need to be almost tortured to settle.
And if the string snaps, there's something wrong with the saddle, nut or how you tie them up.

Yes. The lower E from where I want to be is way off.
Alright, good to know. Right now I'm basically tuning up the e-string a half step a day so I guess I'll just keep doing that then.

Dropping this here once again. Please fill this in Bandori fans.

But is it a good guitar to get in general? I was keen on the VM 70s Strat but the neck is like a paper towel roll and the Affinity is just straight up shit.

Only asking because my bassist swears by them. Not sure how effectively they translate to guitar but I've heard they can do wonders to clean up unwanted fret buzz, overtones or string noise

If you are recording a riff that has no open strings in it, of course it works wonders to remove any unwanted noise. Keeping it wrapped over the nut can also remove "unwanted" vibration, but it can also dull the sound.

It's a tool like any other. It's not fucking magic.

I love the sound of her guitar, but it's quite a weird guitar. It looks like an acoustic, but it has nylon strings and the strings are in a hole in the head stock. What kind of guitar is it?
Is it a good idea to get a similar one? I'm a beginner

youtube.com/watch?v=JnzdP3tauow

>gimping yourself out of open strings because you're too shit to develop proper muting techique
Do you really need to ask?

>I love the sound of her guitar
>strumming an out-of-tune classical
for what reason

Might just be his high school crush or something

Good point.

user, if you tell me how you came upon this video, I will tell you what type of guitar she is playing.

I love vok and I was looking for acoustic covers lol

he should work on his timing a little, he´s a little off in the beginning, just enough to trigger my autism

That's a classical guitar: they're everywhere. Get one if you like the ukulele-like sound, but don't get one if you're going to be strumming most of the time.

I don't like the sound of acoustic guitars :(
Plus, nylon strings are easier on the fingers and I'm gonna use finger picking too.
Is it that bad to strum on a classical guitar?

i fucking hate keyboards and their players with a passion. they infringe upon the bassist to much, hog up all the mid range and complain that they can´t hear themselves in the monitor when all other musicians only hear that keyboard asshat on the monitors because he´s cranking the volume going in to the PA
sorry, i had to vent my frustrations from all the jam sessions i go to. i stop playing when a keyboard player comes on stage

low volume, low harmonic overtones and not so much bass on a nylon string. not really suitable for amplification due to lots of feedback°, so playing with a cajon/drummer is a no go due to lack of volume, very little sustain, so if you plan on playing alone alot, go ahead, otherwise, buy one with steel strings

° they aren´t loud, so when a mic or piezo is attached they have to be turned way up resulting in big chance of feedback and other noise. (signal to noise ratio)

I have no plans of playing in a band and little sustain/volume are fine.
It's just I prefer the sound of nylon strings, it's warmer.
I gotta go to the guitar store, I have an old classical guitar I took from the basement but the action is almost 1cm lol
I couldn't figure out why I couldn't play barre chords, I thought I was unskilled.
It turned out they are almost impossible to play on that guitar lol
So I'm gonna try a few guitar at the store and we'll see

i bought it literally 6 years ago

>Keeping it wrapped over the nut can also remove "unwanted" vibration
this is how I wanted to use it, rather than removing my ability to play open voicings. I wanted to know if anyone had used one before because its a pretty steep price for what is essentially a glorified sock.

Not what they're primarily used for unless you're an idiot or you like to tap (not mutually exclusive). Also get fucked nigga my right hand muting is on point, I bet you can't even integrate ngoni ba technique into your playing

Make your own and buy a high watt rated celestion speaker

So, some of you should know the classic death metal riff staple of alt picked muted low string and clean note on the adjacent one. What's the deal with the technique? Do you let go of the muting each time you hit the string above? Or do you always keep your hand on the pedal string? Or do you down pick and not alt pick that? I'm lost on how and what I should practice to get that sound and riffs cleanly.

That kinda stuff. Would appreciate a break down of what technique you guys apply.

I also use string skipping. Ill post a clip hol up

Do I really need to look up strumming patterns or can humans pick up the rhythm by listening?

Buy a roll of hook and loop fastener, use 10-15cm of it to make your own wrap.

vocaroo.com/i/s0XM4yGSn4LH

Hope you like feedback.

Could you do a quick breakdown of your muting? What you do with your right and left hand. I'm having trouble with getting riffs like those clean, since my pedal string always rings out.

You don't need to be able to play Piano
to use a keyboard and a DAW, you can just layout and quantize* the notes and arrange as you see fit. Other vsts as well. Precision or Jazz bass is always a safe bet.
Guitar will work well, but you might need some pedals to get the tone you are looking for.

Up pick your muted e then down pick notes on the a string. Try it with 2 up picked open E notes and 1 down picked note on the A stting your note of choice. Take it slow at first

how do I play like John Fahey

Its getting there but it wont have the wow factor until you can go faster. Also try to throw in some hammer on and pull off and try going from E string to D string as well.

I just got obsessed over the fact that each note should sound separate and clean and it's driving me mad. I've been playing for a long time but never learned to play this style of riffs properly.

I would suggest removing your effects so you can hear your notes clearer. And also it would help to listen to more death metal. Lemme find you something

Thanks for the tips, user. And I'm an avid death metal listener. Hell, I even love writing these types of riffs, but I can never play them. Obscura has ton of these thrashy pedal-point riffs. I was just never sure how to break them down and practice the picking and muting properly.

Rip off 1920s/30s Black Folk Blues Artists and call it "American Primitivism

Yeah, but we still have no idea who you are.

Its all good.

Get inside your pentatonic hugbox.
Don't leave.
Ever.

>blacks invented folk playing
lol, ok.
anyway, american primitivism is superior to blueshite all day long. music so lacking it needs a pedigree of whiny negroids to give it cred

Lurk moar then.

Oh you’re that lonely guy always looking for attention

Lazy, he used lots of scales. You make him sound like Clapton

>he used lots of scales
For composing, yes.
For improvising on stage on the guitar? Pentatonic hugbox galore.

Oh youre my fan. Cool

Are you salty because he made it and you never will? Why are you always so jealous of everyone else?

Dude, I love Zappa. But he was a studio beast. Why the fuck do you think he hired Steve Vai?

Anyone else hate playing rhythm and playing according to strumming patterns?

Fuck off phone poster

How about no?

I don’t like people with little feet >:(

It doesn't matter how much you lurk, 900fag, if you post two-word phrases anonymously we're not going to know it's you.

I just started posting
>rent free
for no reason and he got self conscious and thought it was about him and then he started copying me. He’s so fucking lonely i think I’m his only real friend.

Jesus Christ, that's the most pathetic thing I've seen in years.

All blacks did was add drums when they ripped off american folk songs.

All white people did was make the drums so fast that staying on tempo was irrelevant and start playing the guitar like a giant plucked violin and call it metal.

Wow, this whole thing just kept rolling without me.

it would be cool if they made ornamented guitars with genuine artistic intent instead of basing them off some neckbeard's TV show about incest

Samefagging for attention

Buncha dumbfucks

they do

Why did you lump me in that? My comment has nothing to do with that conversation?

i'm not a fender fag, i always disliked strongly curved fretboards (it's regressive, classical guitar fretboard best fretboard)

>tell 900fag he's the most pathetic thing I've seen in years
>uh uh uh ... samefag!
>three other posters who aren't me
Keeping the pathetic streak going, jcum.

Instead of weak trolling how about you post some vocaroos? Ive already posted 2.
Oh wait thats right....

>oh no he got me!
>guitar duel!
Out of time and out of key wanking makes you more pathetic, not less.

Google better

No not a guitar duel just something that comes to mind that you can play. Upload it
Oh wait thats right..

Exactly, 900fag. You have no recourse.

Can any of you here prove that you can play on time to a basic 4/4 drum track at, say, 120 bpm?

This is why I love guitar duels: someone always loses. Remember when crazyaga lost to Sammy and then quit /gg/ for good? It was beautiful.

Crazyaga has been spotted in /prod/ recently.

vocaroo.com/i/s1MNouZVkYNT
No one else can

Why do you think I call Sam the king of /gg/? Jcum left for a couple days the last time Sammy beat him.

Personally I don't give a shit who wins as long as someone loses. Sammy was fucking hilarious last time he lost, he just couldn't accept it at all.

HE TOOK THE BAIT AND IT WAS EVEN BETTER THAN I HOPE HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

i keep hearing about sammy but ive never seen him post or heard him play
is he any good? i used to know a sammy who played and he was pretty good

Did middle school just get out somewhere?

he is the best

he has his blooz leads down good. He even had a metal project going at one point that was promising. Last duel he even proved he could play all genres proficiently

That’s when he started to obsess over fixing his gear ;^)

He keeps a much lower profile these days, but yes, he still posts. He goes anonymous so you can't filter him.

He's honesty one of the least intelligent people I've encountered on the internet. Lives with his parents in a Brazilian favela, barebacks trannie prostitutes so he has to take HIV meds, and works in a pet shop for $1.35 an hour. I am literally not joking, I don't know why he tells us this stuff.

He plays out-of-time blues licks on several seriously low-quality Brazilian guitars that he has irreversibly damaged by attempting to modify.

Dont forget he got beat up by his neighbor for being too loud.

Anybody got any tips for playing interesting solo guitar?
The problem is it's hard to have enough bass and highs in the tone to make it sound balanced.
Is the best option just to make the bass a loop instead of trying to have enough lows in your tone for it to sound good without a bass player? or should I mess with my MXR octave pedal? I'm playing with just me on guitar and a drummer, so I'm trying to find a way for the guitar to tone to be beefy enough to substitute a bass player without sacrificing too much
thanks

>Last duel he even proved he could play all genres proficiently
That's not how I remember it.

Get out, pedophile, this is a guitar thread

Learn to do muted chugs

Haha, I missed that. When was this?

He claimed he "fell off a bus" and posted a pic of his tooth knocked out and face bruised and bloody. I dont have it saved though. This was last year i believe.

Fucking third world countries. If he was going to lie about what happened, why even tell us he was injured?

nu metal

Don't just blame It on the country.
It's his own stupidity and faggotry.
I live in one of the so called third world countries, poorer than Brasil in a zone where squared meter is worth over 1000 dollars, on a 1350 m2 house.
Life's good

I just finished learning this youtube.com/watch?v=CukIc8pfmXI

Can anyone recommend beginner/amateur level fingerpicking song? I don't know what to play. Been playing this one for 2 weeks straight

dust in the wind

Thanks user, sounds great. Gonna learn this

Opening to "A Farewell to Kings" by Rush from the album with the same name.
Should give you something to challenge yourself with.

Piano has an even later age limit and yet Ryo Fukui is fucking amazing while starting at only 22.
